Worst photo shoot ever

Paige and Jacob came over to play today.  We tried to get a picture of the cousins together.  I don't know if it was the closeness to the window and blending into the light or if it was just because she was not looking at the camera or that I really don't know how to take pictures, but Paige is blurred in every picture.  At least they were all good about sitting in the same area for a few minutes.  Lukey even tried to hold Jacob.  That didn't work out too well, but he did try.

A new cousin!

Baby Jacob was born yesterday.  We got lucky with having school cancelled today so we could all go and meet him this morning.  He was very handsome.  Anna was very excited to meet him and wanted to get dressed up in her pink dress (as always).  The kids kind of liked seeing him but had more fun looking out the window in the hospital room and playing some form of Batman.  

He's a big boy.  8 1/2 pounds.  He has some big lips too.

These pictures seem to have at least one of the kids looking blurry, but they're still kind of cute.

Happy New Years!

Rob, Steph and Paige came over to celebrate New Years Eve with us.  We had a champagne toast that the kids got to join in with by having sparkling grape juice.

Christmas Party at Jamie and Beth's house

This picture was at our house. Lukey and Anna like wearing their new robes and slippers from Santa.  It keeps them warmer in the morning.

Jamie and Beth had a party for the extended family.  The kids had a lot of fun playing with everyone. 

The girls all got fancy new dresses and insisted on changing immediately.  Anna wants to wear this dress pretty much every day now.  We tried to get a picture of all the little kids but it didn't really work out.  These three were being pretty accommodating but Paige and Hailey weren't really in the mood for a photo shoot.

We tried to get them all on the couch but still couldn't get Paige in the picture.  You can see Richie in the background though trying to keep his girls happy!

The biggest hit of the night was the indoor snowball fight. This went on for a long time and was fun for all.
